To all whom it may concern:

lie it known that I, Ronnn'r Guam Gunman, a citizen of the'United States, and residentof ll ashington, in the District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful lin- PI'OVGDIBHtS in Gulf Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference being bad therein to the accompanying drawii'ig.

It is at present customary to provide shirts with permanently attached cuffs, and practically the use of such shirts is compulsory since the makers put no others on the market. Attached cuffs are pleasing to many, but both hand and brain workers find that, especially in summer, cuffs that cannot be ren'ioved are necessarily soiled soon after work is begun, and also find that, incidentally, laundry bills are materially increased, although soiled cuffs are worn for the greater part of each day.

For such reasons. it is conuuou to reverse or turn. back attached cuffs, holding them. by various expedieuts, none of which are satisfactory. I

The object of this invention is to provide for reversing the cuffs and restoring them to i'ujirn'ial condition as often as desired, quickly and without rumpling them, or preventing them from being moved upwardly upon the arm as far as may he wished. These re sults are accomplished by using novel simple attachments with common cuff studs.

In the accompanying drawings,

Fig. 1 is a plan view of a cuff after reversal and provided with my devices.

F 2 is a side view of the same devices, certain chain connected snap buttons being shown, in diamctrical section, slightly above corresponding parts of a separable cull stud and ready for engagement therewith.

Fig. 3 shows two pairs of chain-connected buttons, detachably united to form a closed loop, which may be secured in any buttonhole or on a key ring, for example, so that these members are always available for use.

In these figures, A, A represent parts of a two part cuff-stud, one part being formed with a head D, of usual form, to engage in a recess E of the companion part. 'lhese parts are usually inserted, respectively, in huttonholes in the cult and are engaged with and disengaged from each other, like the parts of a glove fastener, without removing them from the buttonholes. l Vhen they have been disengaged and the cuif has been reversed, each part is engaged by a snap button P, or B, one adapted. to engage the head D and the other to enter the recess E, since the head and recess of the buttons are substantial duplicates of the head and recess of the parts of the stud. The meeting faces of the stud part and the corresponding button are convex, or rounded from each other so that a marginal crevice is formed, facilitating disengagement and giving space for the terminal link of a short chain C which permanently connects the two buttons.

fhe buttons l1. 13 may be externally ornamented, so that when in use with reversed cuffs they appear like cull studs connected by a chain.

it may be noted that the chain connecting the sides of the cull allows such separation as permits the cuff to move upward over the forearm, if desired, although the cuff when its margins overlap, in the ordinary use of the stud, does not permit such movement.

ll hat I claim is 1. he combination with apparel portions to be connected, of companion snap fastener parts secured to said portions, respectively, and a chain having at one end a snap fastener member adapted to engage one of said parts and at the opposite end a companion snap fastener member adapted to engage the other of said parts.

2. The combination with a two-part culli' stiul of the snap fastener type, of a short chain having terminal snap buttons adapted for detachably engaging corresponding members of the two part stud.

3. The combination with the parts of a cuff stud of the snap fastener type, of a short chain carrying terminal snap buttons adapted to en age each other and also to engage the corresponding members, respectively, of the cuff stud.

l. The combination with the co-acting members of a two part stud of the snap fastener type, of two snap buttons adapted to engage, respectively, said members while extending from their planes to leave begage, respectively, ihe members of the cufl tween the margins of the two space for at stud, and a flexible connection restricting the taehing a chain, and a short chain conneet- Separation of said buttons. 10 ing the marginal portions of said buttons.
